Benjamin PIK and his associates as Expand CPA have been assisting with my French and American taxes for several years now. Their team is responsive, professional, and kind. I've been very happy with their service, and it brings me great peace of mind knowing my tax filings are in their hand (not to mention - immeasurable time and frustration saved from the years I suffered through doing it myself). Big thanks to the whole team!

I file both American and French taxes, and Expand has made the whole process so much easier. It’s such a relief to work with a team that understands both systems and takes the stress out of all the tax jargon. Everyone has been super friendly, and Jenna has been incredibly helpful from day one. Highly recommend them if you need support with US or French tax filing!

My wife and I experienced a complete melt-down with an accounting firm in California which was unable to handle our IRS reporting in a timely manner. These folks at EXPAND CPA. in Paris stepped in to rescue us; and the return will be filed correctly and in a timely fashion for the first time in several years. BRAVO to Michael DIJAN, who is the U.S. Tax Manager at EXPAND. A special thanks, too, to Jenna FITOUSSI for superb handling of our document flow to get this job done!!.

Je travaille avec le cabinet Expand CPA depuis 2021 dans le cadre d'un partenariat dédié à l'accompagnement d'entreprises étrangères souhaitant créer leurs filiales en Ile-de-France. Mes interlocuteurs au sein du cabinet Expand CPA (Benjamin et Samuel) ont toujours été professionnels, disponibles et compétents pour répondre au mieux aux besoins exprimés par les clients accompagnés. D'un point de vue collaboratif, ils ont toujours répondu favorablement aux différentes sollicitations entreprises par nos soins. C'est sans aucune hésitation que je les recommande pour les services qu'ils peuvent apporter que ce soit à des professionnels ou à des particuliers.

I have entrusted Benjamin Pik and the team at Expand CPA with the preparation and filing of my French and American tax declarations for the last 5 years. They have done an excellent job and are responsive whenever questions arise. They recently communicated on my behalf with the French tax authorities to protect my interests with satisfactory results. I give Benjamin and Expand CPA my highest recommendation.

I recently had a consultation with Benjamin Pik regarding a potential move to Paris, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Benjamin was clear, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the cross-border tax and financial considerations involved. What I appreciated most was how approachable and patient he was in walking me through complex issues, making them understandable without ever oversimplifying. He listened carefully to my situation, tailored his insights to my needs, and provided a concise and practical summary that I could rely on moving forward. For anyone considering a move to France, or simply needing clarity on U.S.–France tax matters, I highly recommend reaching out to Benjamin Pik. His expertise and professionalism are matched by his ability to make clients feel supported and well-informed.
